Officials: U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda Army Major in Fort Hood Massacre Used 'Electronic Means' to Connect with Terrorists By RICHARD ESPOSITO, MATTHEW COLE and BRIAN ROSS U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.The Hasan Case: Overt Clues and Tactical Challenges
The Hasan Case: Overt Clues and Tactical Challenges By Scott Stewart and Fred Burton In last week’s global security and intelligence report, we discussed the recent call by the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Nasir al-Wahayshi, for jihadists to conduct simple attacks against a variety of targets in the Muslim world and the West. We also noted how it is relatively simple to conduct such attacks against soft targets using improvised explosive devices, guns or even knives and clubs. The next day, a lone gunman, U.S.Turkey, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, all know how to deal with Muslim fanatics in the Military
Analyzing Major Nidal Hassan Melik Kaylan, Man under excess stress or a murderous jihadi? Some commentators place Major Nidal Hassan's outrage at Fort Hood in the continuum of nonreligious psychotic mass killings like those at Columbine and Virginia Tech. Others liken it to Islamist terror outrages such as suicide and car bombings.A Dangerous Delusion
A Dangerous Delusion We go to war to defend our interests, not to encourage democracy. By Andrew C. McCarthy Right after 9/11, Pres.A blogger from Norway on Coverage of Fort Hood Massacre
Fort Hood Massacre: A Day of Courage and Cowardice A self-described "devout Muslim" who praised suicide bombers opens fire on brave American soldiers — and most people in the mainstream media insist there is no sign of terror. November 6, 2009 - by Bruce Bawer The brave soldiers who were massacred at Fort Hood had trained to fight the jihadist enemy abroad. But they seem to have ended up being murdered by the same enemy on American soil, in a place where they thought they were safe — murdered, apparently, because a series of military and medical officials recognized what was going on with this major and chose to do nothing about it.Afghan War Hypocrite
Frank Rich — Afghan War Hypocrite [Rich Lowry] (NRO) We are experiencing a festival of liberal hypocrisy on the Afghan war, as all the left-wing doves who touted the war as absolutely essential for years back off now that it's no longer a politically convenient war. Note these lines in Frank Rich's column today: Obama finds himself at that same lonely decision point now. Though he came to the presidency declaring Afghanistan a “war of necessity,” circumstances have since changed.Obama missing in action
Missing in Action Obama has opted out of the Iraq–Syria crisis. By John P. Hannah It’s hard to believe, but nearly three weeks into a major crisis involving Syrian sponsorship of terrorism in Iraq, the United States is feigning neutrality.Afghan Taliban say they pose no threat to the West
KABUL (Reuters) – The Afghan Taliban pose no threat to the West but will continue their fight against occupying foreign forces, they said on Wednesday, the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion that removed them from power. U.S.-led forces with the help of Afghan groups overthrew the Taliban government during a five week battle which started on October 7, 2001, after the militants refused to hand over al Qaeda leaders wanted by Washington for the September 11 attacks on America. "We had and have no plan of harming countries of the world, including those in Europe ...The Five Afghan War Excuses
The Five Afghan War Excuses [Rich Lowry] (NRO) The administration's excuses for backing off the Afghan war are coming into clearer focus. Of course, "excuses" is a stilted word—for those who are, in terms of the administration's internal fight, in the Biden camp, they are "reasons."
